PS: Here’s Mina Loy on a tumblr called Hotties From History. I debated quite a bit about which historical figure Domme would want to talk about in this totally-outta-left-field sort of way, but she seemed right. Additional educational notes, in case you’re interested: Loy never published her feminist manifesto in her lifetime, possibly because some of it gets into troubling pseudo-fascist territory that’s otherwise not typical of the author. I like a lot of the rest of it, though — she’s one of my favourite early 20th century figures. Oh, yeah, and the erotic poetry isn’t particularly scandalous…but hey, I guess it was in 1915.

Her best rock opera concept would be about my other favorite avant garde lady of roughly the same era, Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, and her adventures in, like, dressing up in a bunch of garbage and homemade strap-on dildos and freaking out squares walking around the streets of 1910s New York. Oh, and dying before her time under suspicious circumstances: concept album gold.

Not at all! This one’s right up there on my list of “man, I’d be interested in hearing the music from my own comix”. Gimme some random drumming and guitaring to accompany my spoken word piece, you two — WE’LL MAKE THIS WORK.

aha, yes, I honestly could not think of a name
the sad thing is I don’t even like cats that much
Sorry if I came off as a bit weird, I just really like this comic and am not very good at saying sensible things

Okay, I just read the entire archive of this comic and am now reading through it AGAIN. Because I can’t get over how great it is. The art! The style! The goofy rhymes! The unapologetic girliness! I have recommended it to everyone I know who is into gals being pals, if you get what I mean.

And now I have to comment, because Domme is SO GREAT, and I have such a crush on her, and oh how I would love to see this performance.
